ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219525905000397 | Abstract: | Conventional maps of election results can give a misleading picture of the popular support that candidates have because population is highly non-uniform and equal areas on a map may not correspond to equal numbers of voters. Taking the example of the 2004 United States presidential election, we show how this problem can be corrected using a cartogram - a map in which the sizes of regions such as states are rescaled according to population or some other variable of interest. © World Scientific Publishing Company. | Source Title: | ADVANCES IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/168552 | ISSN: | 02195259 17936802 |
